Abstract
A method of fabricating flash memory devices includes the steps of forming a stop nitride film and an oxide film on a semiconductor substrate having a predetermined structure formed therein, forming trenches in the oxide film and the stop nitride film, forming barrier oxide films on lateral faces of the trenches by an atomic layer deposition method, and forming bit lines within the trenches.
Claims3
A method of fabricating flash memory devices, comprising the steps of:
- forming a first interlayer insulation film on a semiconductor substrate in which gate and source/drain junctions are formed, and forming a source contact electrically connected to the source junction through the first interlayer insulation film;
- forming a second interlayer insulation film on the first interlayer insulation film and forming a drain contact electrically connected to the drain junction through the second and first interlayer insulation films;
- laminating a stop nitride film and an oxide film on the entire surface including the second interlayer insulation film;
- forming trenches through which the second interlayer insulation film and the drain contact on the source contact are exposed in the stop nitride film and the oxide film;
- forming barrier oxide films on lateral faces of the trenches by an atomic layer deposition method;
- forming a contact hole through which the source contact is exposed in the second interlayer insulation film below the trenches;
- performing a cleaning process;
- and
- burying the trenches and the contact hole with a metal film and forming bit lines connected to the drain contact and source lines connected to the source contact.
